On January 23, 2017, Carlivati was announced as the newly-appointed head writer for Days of Our Lives, replacing former co-head writers Dena Higley and Ryan Quan. Per reports, this change is said to be "effective immediately". After 7 years, on July 19, 2024, it was announced that Ron is exiting the show, effective immediately. Carlivati will be succeeded at the helm of the show’s writing team by Paula Cwikly and Jeanne Marie Ford, the show confirms. Both women have had long ties to daytime. Cwikly was on the writing teams at As The World Turns, Sunset Beach and Young and Restless, and has previously served as both an associate head writer and head writer at DAYS. Ford has been serving as a breakdown writer at DAYS, where she began her soap career as a writer’s assistant in 1992, and also worked on the writing teams of ATWT and One Life To Live. Episodes written by Carlivati will air through April 2025 due to the show’s unique tape to air schedule.”
